Can't patch Policenauts?

Post by AssyriansGodHand »

I have followed the guide but when I click on the patch file or the patch-athlon-cpu to patch policenauts. I got an error saying the "xdelta3-3.0.8.x86-32 is not recognized an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Patching disc 2" I did rip both discs into ISO format and put them in the patch folder after I did extract the patch. Thanks for any help.

Sorry I was missing something. After saving the file as ISO, I got a message saying "that this is not the proper format to save this file as ISO but if you want to me to do it click yes" And I clicked yes but after the green bar appears but it just stay like that forever and saying "reading sectors! I don't no if this program is bad or something else. I can't rip the game file into ISO with this program IMGBRUN and its just staying at reading sectors for ever. Is there any other program to use? Thanks a lot.

I ripped the game file into ISO by using another program called PowerISO, before converting it to ISO file it gave me an error saying AN I/O error something. But it did the job. And also I had to change the name of the xdelta program xdelta3.0u.x86-32.exe and it worked but while patching it. You can see below the error and I have read the "read me guide" and mentioned that "If you are getting "XD3_INVALID_INPUT (checksum) error" it is possible you have an athlon CPU, please execute patch-athlon-cpu.bat instead, or execute the following commands with -n before the -f -d -s." Thanks for any help its driving me crazy.

Okay, let me see if I can help you.
First step, use ImgBurn and keep the format as a BIN. Once it's done ripping, rename the BIN image to Policenauts1.iso (NOTE: renaming it to Policenauts1.iso should remove the .bin extension, so make sure you have file extensions visible in windows folder options). Do the same for disc two.

Second step, download the patch, extract it and place the Xdelta file I have attached in the patches archive (xdelta3.0u.x86-32.exe). Then click on patch.bat or patch-athlon-cpu.bat, depending on your situation. The patcher will do its thing and within minuets you will have two new ISO files that are English patched.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your help and I will try do it as you said. But when I did extract the patch file, I see 2 files have different names and not patch.bat or patch-athlon-cpu.bat. One is named just patch and the second is named patch-athlon-cpu. Is that ok or just have those names you mentioned? Thanks.

You can't see the ".bat" part because you have file extensions invisible in your windows folder options.
To disable this, follow this.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/wind ... =windows-7
After this, you will be able to see file extensions, this helps when your renaming your .bin files of Policenauts to " Policenauts1.iso" and " Policenauts2.iso".

I have to send you money lool. Thank you so much man it did work. I followed your step guide by making the bin file first of the game and change the name to Policenauts1.iso and it worked. Thanks a lot man you been big help and Iam playing the game now as I didn't understand anything before due to the Japanese language.
